Dogs Enjoy Afternoon Reading (D.E.A.R.) is the cutest program at the Library! This free program is designed for new readers and kids who want to practice their reading with a non-judgmental, furry audience a.k.a. a trained therapy dog. Each child reads at their own pace to one or more of our friendly dogs. Adults are welcome to read to or help newer readers. No registration is necessary, but please check-in with the staff member at the event to get on the list to read, sometimes there is a little wait. We will have a selection of books on hand to read or you can bring your own! This is a great way to build literacy skills, associate reading with fun, and develop confidence and motivation to keep up with the practice of learning to read.

 

This program is generously supported by the Friends of the Longmont Library.
